In this paper, chamber(Circuit breaker compartment of C-GIS) made of stainless steel with 4 mm width is used. Artificial defect was made on enclosure or HV conductor of chamber and $SF_6$ gas was injected into it according to pressure. In this experiment, Acoustic emission sensors of different types was used to compare sensitivity to detect acoustic signal occurred by Partial discharge(PD) of according to types and resonance frequency in $SF_6$ gas atmosphere. Sensors used in tests was R6I, R15I and 2/4/6 Pre-Amplifier connected with R6IU without pre. amp. In case of R6IU, gain was adjusted with 40 dB like other sensors and operated by differential mode. Post amplifier(post. amp) and band pass filter(BPF) were developed Gain of post. amp. is 60 dB and BPF has band width of $50{\sim}300$ kHz. Also, envelope circuit developed reduces frequency of AE sensor. As a result, in $SF_6$ atmosphere, R6IU and R6I had resonance frequency of 60 Hz was better than R15I. Also, R6IU was better than R6I because of type property of pre.amp. had differential mode.

기존에 사용되고 있는 초고압 가스차단기(GCB : gas circuit breaker)는 대부분 퍼퍼형(puffer type) 소호방식의 가스 차단기를 사용하였다. 퍼퍼형 소호방식은 차단동작에 있어서 대단히 큰 조작력이 요구되고 소호부 size가 큰 단점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 아크 자체의 에너지를 아크 소호에 필요한 압력상승을 일으키는 데 이용하는 자력소호방식(self-extingishing type)에 작은 체적의 퍼퍼 실린더를 병용하는 복합소호방식(hybrid extingishing type) 차단부가 개발되어 사용이 확대되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 차단기의 소호방식별 특성을 비교 분석하고 최근 사용이 확대되고 있는 복합소호방식 차단기의 고장사례 분석을 통해 개선대책을 제시하였다.

In this paper, Power Management System(PMS) simulator for Liquid Nature Gas Carrier(LNGC) is developed. Major components of power system for LNGC, such as generator, diesel engine and governor, transformer, circuit breaker, and 3 phase loads models are built based on MATLAB/SIMULINK. With these designed major parts, PMS simulator modeling is carried out. Based on MATLAB/Graphical User Interface, PMS simulator control for LNGC, and Human Machine Interface for monitoring is designed. PMS simulator for LNGC carries out simulation according to sequence of characteristics analysis. By comparing results of predicted simulation for each sequence to that of characteristics analysis, the reliability of PMS simulator for LNGC will be verified.

In this paper, we have developed high performance SPD(surge protective device) and evaluated the characteristics in comparison with typical SPD used in the inside and outside of the country. The new SPD was composed of MOV(metal oxide varistor), GDT(gas discharge tube) and impedance such as resistors, capacitors or varistors. To estimate operating the characteristic of the SPD which was developed, it was measured surge voltage caused by fault current or surge according to IEC 61000-4-5. As a result it was found that the power supply was cut off by high performance SPD when caused a short-circuit. In addition we could know that it could prevent ELB(earth leakage breaker)'s malfunction caused by surge.

In this paper we are to explain the development of circuit breaker characteristic tester for 25.8kV Gas Insulated Switchgear. Because of hermetically sealed cubicle, we have the difficulties of installation and usage of tester. Therefore we developed measuring tester and software. This tester can measure CB close/trip time, coil current, stroke, chattering time. And it has CB positive/ negative discrimination program, trend management program, DB management program.

A computational approach of the arc quenching process in GCB was developed. it is capable to calculates the thermodynamic quantities of the gas as a function of time taking into account of all spaces concerned with the arc quenching. Basically using so-called FLIC method, this program adoptes 'Simplified Enthalpy Arc Model', which is somewhat modified. And, to examine whether our works were done properly, it was simulated the whole process of the arc quenching that is based on self-flow generation phenomena/current interruption in a thermal expansion type circuit breaker. This program was verified by experiments, both showed fairly good agreement.

An arc model based on the N-S equations modified by adding an energy source term to take account of the arc is developed and solved using Taylor-Garlerkin FEM in the present paper. The numerical method is applied to the simulation of the opening procedure of a puffer type GCB. Moving boundary conditions of the arc chamber during operation is taken into account. Numerical predictions of the temperature profiles at different strokes are presented.
